Antique Cast Iron Tobacco Cutter, Vintage German Smoking Tool:
$515.00

Cast iron tobacco cutter is a historical piece likely from the late 19th to early 20th century. The term "Gesetzlich Geschützt" is German and translates to "Legally Protected," indicating that the design or patent of the cutter was registered under German law. This suggests the cutter was manufactured in Germany or a German-speaking region during this period.
Where: Most probably Germany or Austria, based on the German inscription.
When: Likely between the 1870s and 1920s, as this was a period when such tobacco cutters were commonly used, and the phrase "Gesetzlich Geschützt" was prevalent for marking patented items.
Who: It's challenging to attribute the cutter to a specific manufacturer without additional markings or a manufacturer's name. However, such ornate cast-iron tools were often made by specialized manufacturers of metal goods or agricultural tools.
Design:
The ornate design and intricate patterns on the base suggest it was both functional and decorative, reflecting the craftsmanship of the time. These cutters were used to slice plugs of tobacco into smaller portions for chewing or smoking.
Dimensions:
L 30 cm/12"
D 17 cm/6.7"
H 16 cm/6.2"
